Details

Tepin peppers grow wildly in Mexico and the American Southwest, but many people cultivate them to keep them for chile flakes, oils, and to craft burning home-canned pickles. This is a chile that’s been used in cooking for thousands of years and is thought to be one of the oldest chile cultivars around.

Since tepin chiles are so small they’re very sensitive to rainfall and sunlight, thus their heat can vary not just season to season, but week to week. Expect as mild as a jalapeno to hotter than a habanero. Spice Jungle puts together a good blend of tepins to ensure a balanced hot-hot consistency for your use.
